what else can you do on 7 acres

I can see that I should tidy up the guestroom, and send you a plane ticket.

By the time we're done planting, when you combine Hubby's ground, My ground, 3 Son's ground, BIL's ground and all the custom planting we do our corn planter & grain drill will have covered 2000+ Acres between the two implements. I shudder to think what it's going to cost to put diesel fuel in the tractors to prepare and plant the ground.

When I as a kid my cousin had a section of land he grew cotton on and I would work for him driving tractors, etc. in the summers. I would even hoe the cotton, pick it, take it to the gin and I even learned to plow in a straight line. He and his wife raised me as my father was killed in a car wreck when I was 11 and he stepped in. I also saw him give it all up and go into the ministry. What a man he was.
